This is a very sad story. But it did seem like she was a health tourist. Should the NHS have treated her? Tricky one.

I expect sadly for her that because she was Jamaican that was the main reason they pushed back on her (I think Jamaican nationals are well known for health tourism).

Whether she knew she was sick when she travelled remains to be seen. It's still very sad though.
